[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the 18 yr old is just talking to new friends who say "hey where do your parents live?" it's okay to just say "My mom lives in PA; I don't have a father." Because what this 18 yr old has is a sperm donor. An orphan is somebody with NO parents, so unless their mother is dead, they're not an orphan. If we're talking about legally, s/he would need to consult with a family law attorney to get legal advice. [/quote] But the mother in this story is dead. I would consider this child to have had one parent, and that once that one parent died, I'd consider him an orphan.[/quote]
